Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Judah said,.... Several of the men of Judah:

the strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed; through much labour, in carrying heavy loads of stone and timber to the builders, and yet more through fear of the enemy:

and there is much rubbish; which ought to be removed, but that the labourers were so weak that they could not do it:

so that we are not able to build the wall; to finish it before the enemy comes to attack us.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Nehemiah 4:10. The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed — They worked both day and night, scarcely ever putting off their clothes, except for the purpose of being washed, Nehemiah 4:21; Nehemiah 4:23.

Much rubbish — The ruins they were obliged to clear away, before they could dig the foundation for a new wall: and in this labour they were nearly exhausted; see Nehemiah 5:15.
